Aim To explore the protective effects of naringin on hypoxic ischemic brain injury in neonatal rats and its mechanism. Methods Ninety-six healthy 7-day neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, hypoxic-ischemic brain damage group (HIBD group),HIBD with low-dose naringenin group(50 mg·kg-1, NG-L) and HIBD with high-dose naringenin group(100 mg·kg-1,NG-H). Neu-rological deficit, HE staining and brain water content were measured 48h after operation. Immunoblotting was used to detect the expressions of NOD2,RIP2 and NF-κB. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method was adopted to detect TNF-α and IL-1β ex-pression. Results Compared with HIBD group, the neurological deficit score decreased, the pathological damage was reduced, and the water content of brain tissues markedly decreased by naringenin(50,100 mg ·kg-1) treatment(P<0.05). Western blot revealed the down-regulation of NOD2,RIP2 and NF-κB by na-ringenin (50,100mg·kg-1) treatment (P<0.05). The content of TNF-α and IL-1β in brain tissues was lower than that of HIBD group (P <0.05). Conclu-sion Naringenin is likely to exert a protective role in neonatal rats of hypoxic ischemic brain injury perhaps through decreasing the expression of NOD2, RIP2 and NF-κB,and reducing the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of Shengjingsan on spermatogenic function following testicular torsion/detorsion in rats and its action mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty SD male rats were equally randomized to groups A (sham operation), B (control), C (low-dose Shengjingsan), D (medium-dose Shengjingsan) and E (high-dose Shengjingsan). The model of testicular torsion was established by 720 degrees clockwise torsion of the left testis for 4 hours. An hour before operation, the rats of group B received daily gavage of normal saline at 1 ml per kg per d, while those in groups C, D and E that of Shengjingsan at 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03 g per kg per d, all for 35 days. Then all the rats were sacrificed for measuring the semen parameters by CASA and detecting the expression of the CatSper1 gene in the sperm by RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with group A, Sperm concentration, the percentage of grade a + b sperm, sperm vitality and CatSper1 expression were significantly lower in group B ([15.30 +/- 6.30] %, [44.42 +/- 6.36] %, [21.00 +/- 6.14] x 10(6)/ml and 1.12 +/- 0.50) than in A ([51.30 +/- 6.60]%, [69.01 +/- 7.20]%, [40.53 +/- 7.01] x 10(6)/ml and 2.04 +/- 0.77) (P < 0.01). Compared with group B, the four parameters were increased remarkably in groups D ([51.63 +/- 3.20] %, [72.09 +/- 2.20]%, [55.30 +/- 5.90] x10(6)/ml and 2.11 +/- 0.20) andE ([55.93 +/- 3.17]%, [73.01 +/- 2.11]%, [58.33 + 4.90] x 10(6)/ml and 2.31 +/- 0.17) (P < 0.01), but not significantly in C ([18.02 +/- 0.23]%, [48.04 +/- 7.01]%, [22.87 +/- 2.10] x 10(6)/ml and 1.19 +/- 0.51) (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Shengjingsan can improve sperm parameters following testicular torsion/ detorsion in male rats by regulating their spermatogenic function and improving the expression of CatSper1 in the sperm.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the relationship of varicocele (VC) with the expressions of T-type channel alpha1H and alpha1G in the sperm of VC patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Based on the WHO criteria, we examined the semen samples by computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA), and divided the samples into groups A (normal semen from volunteers, n = 20), B (normal semen from VC patients, n = 16) and C (abnormal semen from VC patients, n = 44). We optimized the semen by discontinuous Percoll grade centrifugation, and determined the mRNA expressions of T-type channel alpha1H and alpha1G in the three groups using using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with group A, the mRNA expressions of alpha1H and alpha1G showed with no significant decrease in group B (P>0.05), but were remarkably reduced in group C (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The abnormal mRNA expressions of T-type channel alpha1H and alpha1G may be one of the causes of declined semen quality and consequently infertility in VC patients, which has pointed out a new direction for the studies of the causes and treatment of VC-related infertility.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To express and purify Schistosoma japonicum ribosomal protein S4(SjRPS4) in Escherichia coli, and assess its value in immunodiagnosis of Schistosomiasis japonica.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Gene fragment of SjRPS4 was amplified by screening the cercaria cDNA library of Schistosoma japonicum. The target gene was cloned into the expressive vector pQE30 and transformed into E. coli M15. The recombinant protein expression was induced by isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG). This fusion protein was purified by Ni(2+)-NTA chromatography and identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Western blot and ELISA.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The plasmid pQE30/SjRPS4 was constructed successfully and expressed a SjRPS4 fusion protein in E. coli as showing a single special band on SDS-PAGE gel at Mr 30 × 10(3) position. It reached a purity of above 90% after purification. The Western blot result confirmed that the recombinant protein could specifically react with the serum samples from patients of schistosomiasis. Detecting the serum of Schistosomiasis japonica patients by ELISA, the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA method were 90.91% (70/77) and 92.59% (25/27), the positive rate of recombinant protein expression was 67.30% (70/104). There was no cross-reaction with paragonimiasis patients' serum.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Protein SjRPS4 was successfully cloned and expressed, and it was confirmed that SjRPS4 antibodies were valuable in the diagnosis of Schistosomiasis japonica.</p>

OBJECTIVE@#To clone the full-length gene encoding succinate dehydrogenase iron-sulfur protein of Schistosoma japonicum (SjSDISP) Chinese strain and express it in Escherichia coli.@*METHODS@#According to the published incomplete EST (BU804141) of SjSDISP and the sequence of multiclone sites of lambda gt11 vector, 2 pairs of primers were designed and synthesized. Then the 3' and 5'ends of the EST of the SjSDISP from adult Schistosoma japonicum cDNA library were amplified by anchored PCR. After sequencing, a full-length cDNA sequence of the SjSDISP was obtained, and then it was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1. Identified by agarosed gel electrophoresis, endonucleases digestion and PCR, the resultant recombinant plasmid was used for the expression under the temperature-dependent condition and Western blot analysis.@*RESULTS@#A 1,071 bp sequence was obtained. Sequence analysis showed that the fragment contained a complete open reading frame (ORF), encoding 278 amino acid residues. This target fragment was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1, and expressed in Escherichia coli. SDS-PAGE revealed that the molecular weight of the expressed fusion recombinant product was 56 kD. Western blot showed that the recombinant protein was recognized by polyclonal rabbit antiserum immunized with Schistosoma japonicum adult worm antigen.@*CONCLUSION@#Cloning of the full-length gene encoding SjSDISP and its bacterial expression were successfully done.
